Your username makes a lot of sense after reading such opinion, I'm going to be honest.
Do you sincerely think those 2 things are even remotely comparable?
It isn't an evil practice because evil people practice it. It's just an evil practice.
Can we agree on that?
Absolutely fucking not.
Social media companies do not prosecute you in any shape or form. At most the can ban you from using their platforms. That's it.
Being prosecuted by the government of a country (especially a totalitarian one) is an entirely different matter.
And bless your heart for living such a privileged life that you think those 2 things are even on the same level to begin with
We are censored and banned. This is the form of prosecution to which I refer. This is obvious. Let's not quibble over semantics.
If you will read my post, I do not refer to the prosecution. I refer to prosecution without explanation.
I am convinced you are just a troll.
You cannot be so dense as not to see that you are making no sense, while still trying to compare apples to oranges despite all the users telling you how insane of a comparison it is.
I refuse to believe anyone can be so insane as to dare say that living under a totalitarian regime can be in any shape or form similar to getting banned from any website
A sure sign that you are wrong is when everybody agrees with you verbatim.
No, you're just an ahole who has no idea about the horrors that one might face in a totalitarian regime and now you're trying to be edgy and die on a pointless hill with this stupid one liners and ignorant takes. Bye
No
